It's a seven-inch that plays at 45 and it's got eight tracks, so that gives you an idea how short they are.

I think the shortest one is 'Demand', which lasts 18 seconds. 'Ripped Jeans' is ace. 'Shaky Ground' is also ace, and it's the longest song at 1'57.

Nice. How would you describe it?

Have you ever come across some Japanese experimentalists called Maher Shalal Hash Baz. I've got one of their records - Blues du Jour - a 40 minute album with 41 tracks. The longest is a whopping 4 minutes (It's a gorgeous song called Open Fields), but the rest are mostly 30 seconds to a minute and a half. The shortest is 5 seconds (I think). Its a very lovely record that sounds as though it were made by a school band, but in a good way. I quite like that if you don't like a song much, it doesn't matter because there will be another one along in (quite literally) a minute.

Most of the songs are dead fast punky pop with big dirty guitars - almost grungey pop in places, maybe. 'Baby Asleep' is all soft and slow and mumbly and pretty though, and 'Shaky Ground' is a bit more sparse and mid-tempo (and, really, it's a totally overlooked undiscovered classic pop song, actually).
